GAME 12

and just when we thought Topalov's team could sink no lower!

Has every game in this match started with 1.d4?[/b]

They all have.
(excluding the fifth game, naturally)

Both players agreed to the conditions before hand (own rest rooms etc) and it was in the contract. When the decision was made to change the conditions FIDE breached the contract, not only that but they also gave video footage of Kramnik in his rest area to Topalov's team. Kramnik said the other day if he doesn't get a replay of game 5 he plans to sue FIDE, hope he does, because I'm sure he'll win.

*edit*

lol didn't see this went on for 3 pages, anyway that's what I think about it.

What happens after 26...c5, discovering an attack on the queen on a6?

Nevermind, I think White plays 27.Qb2 and when the queens come off the c-pawn is pinned.

goes good with playchess site if you are a guest like me and can't see the GM commentary there.

2.c5 Qb5 looks good for white c5 would be an inacuracy i think it allows a passed c5 pawn for white .

Strange commentary, there's some old bloke explaining that he stayed up late with a nurse and so is too tired to give good commentary!

Now he's saying that someone has written in and called him a jerk.

I wonder what Topalov plans to do with that rook on h6. Hard to see its purpose there... at least not yet. Well maybe later...

Yes, I just turned it off there as well. Sorry about that, not what I expected.

Problem is I'm watching on playchess, and I can't get Fritz to kibitz for me...stupid guest account! (why didn't I renew my subscription!)

Serious bug in recorded moves vs. PGN

Oh this could be really bad.

Here's a link to where I spotted this:
http://www.redhotpawn.com/gameanalysis/boardhistory.php?gameid=2603992

The PGN does not match the Game History playback. The problem starts at move 18 where I (white) move a rook. The PGN shows I moved the kingside rook (18.Rf1-d1) but the game history (and live play) shows I moved the queenside rook (18.Ra1-d1). I believe the PGN is right.

My opponent just made a move that appears to assume the rook was where the PGN shows it, but my live game board does not show what the PGN shows.

This is really bad. Bad enough for everyone to stop playing if there are errors in what's recorded as moves.

Please advise. I like this site already, but am suddenly fearing data corruption.

Please advise.
